Meaning of "chicken scratches":
"Chicken scratches" refers to illegible or messy handwriting that is difficult to read, often implying that the writing is hasty or careless. The term can also be used more broadly to describe any scribbling or scrawling that is unclear or unintelligible.
Origin:
The phrase "chicken scratches" likely originates from the way chickens appear to "scratch" or peck at the ground in a random and messy manner. Similarly, poorly written or hasty handwriting can look chaotic and disorganized, much like the random scratching motions of a chicken. This comparison emphasizes the lack of clarity and order in the writing.
